Q12 asks for the number of known extant (current) populations. Please
consult theGuidance
document on how populations can be defined. Examples for particular
taxonomic groups are provided. In there, you will also find information
on metapopulations and how to quantify recently fragmented populations.
IMPORTANT: the number of populations entered in Q12 will
influence how many specific population sections appear in Section 5
(e.g. for entering Ne or Nc information), with the limit on the Kobo
Form set to 100 populations. However, if more than 100 populations
exist, an option will be provided to upload their information using a
tab delimited file (QX) .
